Recruiting buzz: With Miami losing Justin Renfrow and Curtis Porter at the tackle position, Wyche and his large frame have the chance to make an immediate impact on the Hurricanes’ defensive line. Because an ACC rule dictates he has to spend three consecutive semesters at the same junior college, Wyche won’t make it to Coral Gables in time for spring practice, but when he arrives—likely in May—he’ll bring with him plenty of strength and a solid motor. Wyche briefly decommitted from Miami during the recruiting process, but returned to the fold and gave Miami an instant upgrade a position of need. Chose the Hurricanes after considering offers from Alabama, Arkansas State, Florida and Auburn.
